As a teenager, I pretty much hated Valentine's Day. As Sandy Olson from Grease would say, I was no stranger to heartbreak in those days. Back then, my favorite Valentine's Day song was I'm Shooting Cupid by Voice of the Beehive: "You've gone and made me want someone I can never have, and don't think I don't hear you laughing." Yeah, I was bitter.

Worst Valentine's Day Ever: junior year. My "boyfriend," who had been avoiding me since Christmas, finally got around to giving me my Christmas present. We were standing in the high school parking lot in the bitter cold after a hockey game. The present, a stuffed Velveteen Rabbit in a Christmas stocking, had been rolling around his trunk for six weeks. He handed it over and then told me he didn't think "we" were going to work.
Really?
You know what they say, every rose has its thorn.
